Good to be on with you on this Friday afternoon.

Always good to visit.

Well, they're the deepest team.

They certainly have a defending champion target on their back, which they've answered all season long.

They're the number one overall seed.

They have probably the presumptive MVP, who's the reigning MVP.

and one of the best defensive rim protectors in the game, and about three guys that come off the bench that could start on probably the other 29 teams in the league.

So they're loaded, and they're fairly healthy, and they're showing it up against a Laker team that last night had LeBron and Austin Reeves both play well.

There's no Donchich.

We know that.

but they played well enough for that Laker team to do some damage.

Came closer in game one and more distance last night, and it was probably more Oklahoma City kind of getting their footing in the series.

They have handled the Lakers well all season, and so not surprised they're up 2-0 here after two games.

Well, you know, and you're right, the Spurs took care of them in the regular season, and that surprised, I think, some people, including me.

This is the first time San Antonio has had this group together in the postseason.

So there's a little bit of an inexperience factor there.

Len Benyama is flying incredibly well.

Probably a top three vote getter in the MVP.

We know he's the unanimous defensive player of the year.

So he is what we think he is.
